Stots Build Thread

That's inspired me to do my back stays. I was going to put them on the uprights but the thought of cutting a compound fisheye was putting me off. Seeing how you have done it simplifies it no end.

Looking good Stot,
Good idea with the roll bar support stays.
I do like the tyre and wheel choice you made but I think you might have a problem regarding wheel arches available....
Top quality work as always and you are flying through your build, (do you sleep)...

Well keep the photos coming as it's a pleasure to see what new innervations you are coming up with next.

I figured I could use a couple of GRP bathtubs cut in half.

Cheers

I think you have a little army of elves helping you out at the rate this build is coming along. Where did you get you bodywork from? And how much was it? Not really an option for me but I am curious.

Just me! (and my wife sometimes).

Its an Equinox bodykit, £795. I figured that once I had purchased the nose/scuttle/wings and the aluminum and then went through the process of painting it how I wanted I wouldn't be far off that cost for the bodywork.

It does have its own inherent issues. The side panels for example because they are pre-formed don't conform to the variations in my chassis rails, so I have a little packing to do on it to fit it right.

The elves have been busy again..

Got the brake lines all in position. Just need to be clipped down now.






Next job is to paint the roll bar and the rest of the wishbones and get it back on its wheels!

Cheers

Busy day.

I got my brake lines secured in place.



I got the rest of my bits painted, including the rollbar.



And I got all my carpet pieces cut to size.



My build is not A-B-C more A-R-L-C but I figure that if I cant do the 'next' step in the build I may as well do 'a' step in the build rather than sit around.

Cheers
Stot
